Room location advice on the Sunshine

[RW20]

We just got back from a really great cruise on the Sunshine. We stayed in room 5341 which is a two room aft oceanview suite. The room was great and I would definately book it again. The only down side was the vibration from the engine.

 

 

 

From exploring the ship I found two locations I would never want to book. These were on decks 1 fwd-mid & 6.

 

 

 

Deck 1 - I felt bad for these people. On the days in port the way the Sunshine is designed everyone goes to wait on deck one to get off the ship. If you have early port times and you like to sleep this would not be good!

 

 

 

Deck 6 - We are non-smokers. We found with the Casino on deck 5 we would go up a floor to get from our aft cabin to the front where the funshops are. After two days we started going up two floors because deck 6 mid had a strong pressence of smoke on it. The reason being the mid-ship stair well opens up into the casino and the smoke rises and goes right onto deck six. After we started going to deck seven it was much better. If you are a smoker then this may not be an issue. But if my room had been there I would either had to move or disembark at the first port as I get migraines from cigarette smoke.

 

 

 

So will I go again, yes I am already booked on the Sunshine. But I will make sure that I stay away from these two areas.
